Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelsmann has hit out at Liverpool rival Jurgen Klopp after defeat last night in the Champions League.

The Reds won 2-1 in Germany with Klopp claiming that his side “played defensively really well because the plan was to let them play in the spaces that we believe were not dangerous".

“No, I don't agree," said Nagelsmann.

“We had the ball in many important spaces. He has to say that and defend his team.

“He won't say 'Hoffenheim played so well and we were s***'. I can give one example when (Sandro) Wagner played a square pass into space that was an important ball and another situations with Serge Gnabry and many others."
